Hannity vs Tucker

[blazers]

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-poli...19-fox-news-sean-hannity-misinformation-death

“Greater exposure to Hannity relative to Tucker Carlson Tonight leads to a greater number of COVID-19 cases and deaths,” they write. “A one-standard deviation increase in relative viewership of Hannity relative to Carlson is associated with approximately 30 percent more COVID-19 cases on March 14, and 21 percent more COVID-19 deaths on March 28.”

My first take - this is a stoopid, flawed study that is grasping at straws to try and backup a preconceived, biased theory.

Second take - they're probably right.

 

[tarheel0910]

First take- Don't read Vox
Second take- Seriously, don't read Vox

 

[TarHeelMark]

Regardless.... hannity is a fat FUKK

 

[uncboy10]

Does anyone still take Hannity seriously?

 

[carolinablue34]

First take- Don't read Vox
Second take- Seriously, don't read Vox

They aren’t that bad.

The problem is the study hasn’t been peer reviewed or published. So it’s not really viable at this point.

That being said Hannity is an idiot and a mouthpiece for Trump.

They are considered pretty biased. Surprised you would try to say they aren't. I don't watch Hannity, so I have no opinion of him.

@blazers is turning out to be the equal but opposite @NoleSoup4U

Biased of course. But they aren’t Breitbart or the huffington post.

Hannity is a moron. You’re not missing anything.

Let's not get carried away.

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

I dunno, shitty takes and questionable sources on his articles. Seems like a dead ringer to me.

actually trump is a mouthpiece for Hannity. Lol

Hannity is a moron. .

Hannity is worth $250 MM.

He got his start in radio in 1989 and was hired by Fox News just 7 years later.

He’s an award winning writer and broadcaster.

He also owns a real estate empire consisting of almost 1000 properties with a worth of $90 MM.

You could only hope to be as stupid as he is.

I don’t consider his net worth to have anything to do with his value as a broadcaster. He constantly peddles baseless conspiracy theories that misinform his audience.

So you’re right, it’s not that he’s stupid when it comes to money and becoming rich. He’s just unethical and ridiculous when it comes to politics.

His many broadcasting and writing awards would argue differently.

You don’t like him. Just say that.

So there’s still hope for you?

 

[TarHeelMark]

Years ago, I used to watch Hannity and Colmes occasionally. It was an interesting take on topics of the day, as you had a perspective from both sides.

Sure, I don’t like him. And I also don’t think he used to be a bad journalist. But he’s really gone downhill the past five years.

Hannity has changed since those days. He’s always been right leaning but what he does now can’t be considered news.

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

I agree, but this being said in a thread with an OP of a Vox article is a little amusing.

yes I did too. Enjoyed it

Totally agree. He's a fukking blowhard now... or should I say a blowtrump?

 

[heelmanwilm]

I remember when waterboarding was a big issue and he volunteered to have himself water boarded for charity ridiculing those who called it torture. Keith olberman immediately pledged $1000 for every second that hannity could withstand the waterboarding. Hannity of course backed out.

I would pay $1000 to pour the water

 

[prlyles]

Neither are journalist. They are both entertainers, like Trump.

 

[blazers]

First take- Don't read Vox
Second take- Seriously, don't read Vox

Shoot sorry bout the vox part. Here are two center-leaning outlets on the same study:

https://thehill.com/changing-americ...s-deaths-greater-where-viewers-prefer-hannity

same takes though - it's probably right

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

That must have been a fun study to conduct. "Quick, sir, before you die - are you a Carlson or Hannity guy?!?"

I really feel for the people who have to randomly call people and ask those questions. I had a similar job when I did politics. It sucks.

Christopher Hitchens actually had the balls to do it.

Examples?

 

[heelmanwilm]

Examples?

he claimed covid-19 was a hoax

need more?

he claims the existence of a “deep state” that exists to undermine trump

Oh and he claims the dem party had Seth rich murdered

I believe he said the media coverage of the virus was creating a hoax.
The other 2 examples I’m gonna need some proof on those.
I think you murdered Seth Rich. Prove me wrong and find the real killer, OJ.

Dude, semantics. He called it a hoax. He got called out by the right and left for claiming Hillary murdered Seth Rich. He claimed Clinton was also on the verge of death during the 2016 campaign.

He also lended his belief to the birther conspiracy around Obama.

You asking for proof about conspiracies he supported is the height of irony.

No joke. Hitch was on another level, we could use him around right now.
